Tokyo Marui Saiga-12 SBS

The Tokyo Marui Festival 2023 is on its second and final day, and we know you are eager to hear about the new products that were unveiled at the event. But before we get to that, let us look at some of the other attractions that you can enjoy at this annual celebration of airsoft guns and gear.

One of the highlights is the manga reading corner for "Scavengers Another Sky", a thrilling adventure about girls who wield guns and scavenge for treasures in a mysterious world. If you are a fan of the manga, or simply curious about it, you can read it for free at the corner, where you can also find a panel of the main character Toto.

We also have some sneak peeks of the products that are still under development, such as the Patriot Plus AEG, Glock 17 Gen 5 MOS Gas Blowback Pistol, the VSR-ONE bolt action sniper rifle colour variations, and the "Senzoku no Gun" from Lycoris Recoil.

The Saiga-12 SBS Gas Blowback Shotgun is based on the semi-auto Saiga-12K, but with a shorter barrel and some custom modifications. It also has a full auto function for more firepower. The release date and price are yet to be determined, so stay tuned for more updates.

The Saiga-12 SBS comes with a long new magazine that can hold 90 rounds (30 shots). The gas tank capacity is also increased and has a temperature seal. The long magazine is compatible with the Saiga-12K, and vice versa. The SBS stands for "Short Barrel Shotgun", and the barrel length is 7.5 inches (about 190mm), or 9 inches (about 228mm) with the flash hider. It is much more compact and has a distinctive look.

The rails are Picatinny standard with a width of 20mm. The upper rail also has a backup sight. The receiver has a side rail, where you can mount the Side Lock Mount Rail for AK74 (sold separately).

However, the side rail and the upper rail are not aligned, so you might want to choose one or the other for mounting optics. The grip is an A2 type with a finger groove, and the stock is an enhanced stock that can be adjusted in length in 6 steps and can also be folded to the side. The buffer tube is also lighter.
